A bit of an ingredients purist, if you will, along with favoring organic over generic and over the counter phials found in Diagon Alley and the like.

So it was that Eiji was making his rounds around the Hogwarts grounds during his usual collection periods. Something he enjoyed all the more considering the advantages the new Arithmancy professor had gifted him with this new numer...whatever that terribly long-winded term had been. Being able to see and distinguish higher quality ingredients before picking and collecting? It was like Christmas morning every time his phials ran empty.

But nothing could have prepared him for today's find: the smushed remains of an acromantula. Just HOW often could one just so happen to stumble upon fresh ingredients like this?!

Eiji had only seen the Whomping Willow move from a distance - he had been on the other side of the grounds collecting some bark and wild flowers - and seeing as there had been no human screeching he could only assume that a bird or some other unfortunate creature had fallen victim to the tree's trashing. Seeing acromantula legs sticking out at odd angles had not been what he had expected.

Nor had the flopped over appearance of the headmaster.

....was there a strange moss covered rock around here somewhere or something?

No matter...

....seeing as Headmaster Trent was, according to the rapid rising and falling of his chest, still very much alive and the acromantla clearly not going to be needing any of, well, that...the fourth year carefully crept closer and removed a few phials from his pocket to collect what bits he could. You know, for educational purposes. A phial of leg hairs...and...had this one been grown enough to produce venom? Eiji leaned a bit closer to see if there was anything to collect on that front as well.

The captain was going to kill her. She deserved it, though, staying up late reading with her wand lighting up the pages under her covers. It was her own fault.

She paused, though, as she ran by the Willow and noticed...people gathered around it. Well, two people it looked like - it was hard to tell from this distance. Still, Nettie was never one to pass by a situation where she might be able to stick her nose in someone else's business. Thoughts of Quidditch instantly vanished as she jogged carefully over to the large murder tree, wondering what she might wander upon.

It didn't take more than a few seconds for her to recognize the back of that head - Eiji. Naturally, her steps quickened. "Eiji? What are you..." her voice trailed off as her eyes fell upon the smashed acromantula on the ground. She'd heard of those giant man eating spiders in the forest, but had never actually SEEN one. In fact, the only thing keeping her from passing out in a dead faint (because of COURSE she would faint AGAIN around Eiji, just her luck) was the fact that it had been smashed in to oblivion. It was of no threat to her dead, although her heart still felt like it was going to beat right out of her chest.

"Is that...?" she asked with wide eyes, even though she KNEW the answer. In fact, she knew she shouldn't be surprised at all that Eiji was currently leaning over it, harvesting Merlin knows what from the corpse for his potions ingredient collection.

That was when she remembered they weren't alone - the Headmaster was there too, on the ground, looking like he had just seen a ghost!

"EIJI! The Headmaster!" she exclaimed with just a BIT of a scolding tone of voice as she ran over to him. She had no doubt that Eiji had SEEN him and just chosen to ignore him over potions ingredients. Internal eye roll. She knelt down over Trent with wide eyes. "Headmaster! Are you ok?! Should I go call someone?" she asked. She had been practicing her patronus charms but she doubted she could conjure one strong enough to bring a message to anyone...she couldn't even get it to form a definitive shape...

He didn't notice the approach of the young Slytherin...or rather....he did notice but not in the same way he would have if he was back in his correct mind. Right now nothing made sense to him and just when he thought he'd forced the images from his mind, they came crashing back with haunting force.

Such big pincers. Such angry, uncaring eyes. The lot of them. There were so many. The blood pumping through his veins went ice cold.

Then he heard yelling. Something about the Headmaster. Yes! Protect the Headmaster! Call for help! Get the man somewhere safe from those vicious--wait...wait. HE was the Headmaster. Right. Of course. That sounded accurate.

Malachi blinked a few times, trying to focus on Gladin and her words but even now his skin was crawling uncomfortably and his chest heaved hard. In an instant, the man went from being fully subdued in a daze to suddenly wide eyed and terrified. His mind had travelled back by a few minutes and he could once again see the spiders even as he saw the students.

"Ruuunnn! We gotta get out of here! Spiders! Spiders spiders spiders!" The Headmaster shot up quickly, immediately grabbing Gladin by the wrist and turning to Rasting. "We gotta get out of here, now! Let's get moving! They could be back at any second! We're all in bloody danger!!!"
